Quick trip to Kanab

The weekend of July 23, 2011 we decided to take a quick trip to Kanab.  Our excuse was, MaryAnn's monitor was going out.  We happened to have a spare one.  So we took it down to her.  Turns out, it was not the monitor, it is the video chip going out on the mother board.  But, it was a good excuse to take a trip.  It just happened that April & Kacie had called to spend the weekend with us, and they came too, and so did Brodie.  We didn't leave until late Saturday afternoon.  So got there about 8:30pm.  All the kids were so happy to see each other.  And Brodie had not really been to this house in Kanab before.  We stopped on our way there and bought some embroidery floss to make bracelets.  They started on them that night.  They were pretty fun to make.  MaryAnn showed everyone how to do them.  Even the boys where making them.

Brodie, Clay, Kacie, Jake, Grandma (Cindy), Cora, April and Addie.  Everyone has string in had and it is pinned to whatever so they can make the friendship bracelets. 

Grandma , Jake & Cora.  I think I was making one for Cora.

Kacie, April and Addie.  They pinned them to the carpet...

Clay & Brodie.  Brodie has one on his wrist that he made already.

Kacie and Jake sitting on the pillow to keep her project from moving around.

Sunday morning....Clay getting a haircut from his Mom.

Jake's turn for the haircut...

Then it was time to wake everyone up for showers and breakfast, then off to church we all went.  Can you believe that we made it to church on time?  It even started at 9:00 am.  There was 7 kids and 3 adults, I was totally surprised that we made it on time.  LOL

The project after church...tying water ballons on flip-flops, and fabric on them.  They turned out really cute, but your fingers hurt by the time all the flip-flops where done.  All the girls loved their new shoes!  Another good idea from MaryAnn.

The next fun activity was the water slide...it was so hot outside.  Clay & Cora.

April on slide, Jake, Cora, Addie, Kacie & Brodie...

Everyone dried off, and it was onto the next activity.  Grandpa took all the kids to the park.  Brodie on the slide.  MaryAnn & I stayed home and had a piece of Pumkin roll.  (It was delious!!!) 

Cora & Kacie.  Look like they are having fun.

April and Cora...I bet Cora is telling April a funny story...

There is rubber stuff all over the ground, and they decided to put it on the slide and see what happens when you slide into it.  Clay, Brodie, Kacie, April and Jake.

Then off to play in the water at the park.  Addie, April, Jake, Cora and Kacie...do these kids every stop moving????  They sure had a fun filled weekend.

Cute picture of Addie.

April, Cora, Brodie and Jake.  They layed down on the rocks around the park to dry off when it was time to stop playing in the water.  Everyone slept good that night.  We had a big day ahead for Monday, we were going to Zion and do 3 hikes.
